The holiday flat is in a fantastic hillside location in Pognana Lario, a small village in a privileged position between Como (12 km) and Bellagio (17 km) in the inner triangle of the lake. The house faces the lake on the lakeside road, approx. 90 metres above the lake as the crow flies. The impressive hillside location offers plenty of sunshine and a fascinating view...

The Raphael holiday flat is situated in a block of flats on a hillside, comprising several flats and a bar on the ground floor. The entrance to the stairwell is on the street side; a flight of stairs leads down to your flat. You enter directly into the bright, light-filled living area, which features a dining table, a lounge area and a balcony offering magnificent panoramic views of the lake and mountains.
On the mountain side, there is a guest WC with a washbasin, toilet and washing machine, as well as a small separate kitchen.
To the side is the master bedroom with a double bed, facing the lake. Let the morning sun wake you up here with a fantastic view of the lake. On the mountain side is the second bedroom with two single beds, featuring an en-suite bathroom with a washbasin, shower and bath with massage jets. The bathroom and bedroom have no windows.
The flat is equipped with a portable air-conditioner (with a hose) and a fan, which can be used flexibly in all rooms.

You can reach a bathing spot with a small-boat harbour in just 3–5 minutes via a steeper natural path with steps, passing by quaint gardens. Access to the lake for swimming is via a flight of steps or a ladder leading into the water.

In Pognana Lario and the surrounding villages, several bathing spots invite you to take a dip in the crystal-clear waters of Lake Como. Right in the village itself, there are natural, stony access points to the lake. The nearest official bathing area is the beautiful Lido di Faggeto Lario (about a 10-minute drive). Sun loungers can be booked online there, and admission is paid on site. The water gets deep after just a few metres and is therefore particularly suitable for experienced swimmers. Due to limited parking spaces, it is advisable to arrive early.

Another hidden gem is the small pebble beach at Careno, which can be reached via a footpath of around 300 steps or by public ferry. Its idyllic setting makes it particularly charming, but access is not suitable for people with reduced mobility.

Sports enthusiasts will also find plenty to enjoy around Pognana Lario. Lake Como offers ideal conditions for swimming, stand-up paddleboarding, kayaking, sailing and boating. In addition, numerous hiking and mountain bike trails wind through the impressive mountain landscape, offering magnificent views of the lake.

The holiday flat impresses with its size, furnishings and location. The view is wonderful. The bar on the mountain side is only occasionally noticed and is an enrichment for guests who value a little service ‘around the corner’. The holiday flat is recommended all year round.
For holidays with friends/big family there is the flat Sonia Musica Aperol in the same house.

What a fantastic stay we had at Casa di Raphael. The apartment is tastefully decorated and fully equipped. The new kitchen is beautiful, and everything has been thought of here too! The view is breathtaking; having drinks on the balcony in the evening sun is a real treat. The location of the apartment is ideal; there are many sights within a 20-minute drive. We would love to come back here again!

Eine geschmackvoll eingerichtete Wohnung mit wunderschönem Blick auf den Comer See! Zentral gelegen im ruhigen Pognana Lario, die Stadt Como und Bellagio sind mit dem Auto leicht zu erreichen. Nur wenige Gehminuten von der Wohnung entfernt befindet sich eine Liegewiese, auf der Sie ins Wasser gehen können und die auch für ältere Kinder geeignet ist. In der Nähe gibt es zahlreiche Supermärkte und Restaurants. Oberhalb der Wohnung befindet sich die Bar Sonia, wo Sie einen Cappuccino trinken und köstliche Pizza essen können. Mieten Sie unbedingt ein Boot, um den See vom Wasser aus zu erkunden, oder ein elektrisches Mountainbike, um die Gegend mit dem Fahrrad zu erkunden! Ein schöner Ort zum Entspannen und um die Umgebung von Como kennenzulernen!

Lovely apartment on Lake Como – perfect for children! We had a wonderful week in this stylish apartment with a fantastic view of Lake Como. We stayed with our two young children, and it was truly perfect. The apartment was even nicer than expected because the Dutch owners had improved the interior even further after we booked – a lovely surprise! Contact was smooth, and the owners were very helpful. The complex also has a cozy bar with delicious pizzas and a beautiful view. We were a bit worried about some noise, but you really don't notice any. The idyllic Careno Beach is a 5-minute drive away. After a short walk down narrow streets, you'll reach a quiet beach where children can play safely – water shoes are a good idea. The location is perfect for trips to Como and Bellagio. We're curious to see what it will look like in a few years, because the owners have exciting plans. We'll definitely be back!

We had a wonderful stay at Casa di Raphael. The apartment is spacious and very quiet, with two large bedrooms and a jacuzzi – a perfect place to fully relax. The view over the lake is stunning, both in the morning and in the evening. It’s lovely to sit out on the balcony and enjoy the view. A real highlight is Bar Sonia, right above the apartment. Ideal for a fresh cappuccino in the morning and later an aperitivo with a view over the water. The location is excellent: you can reach Como quickly by boat or bus, and from there Milan is just a short train ride away. Parking is available right in front of the apartment. The apartment was clean, the host was friendly and helpful. Highly recommended!
